Licking Dog 3

Chapter 3

"First, you were at fault in this matter. Even if you wanted to rent an evening gown, you should have first clarified the dress's origins and whether the store was qualified to rent it. Even if you were scammed, once you met the owner of the evening gown, you should have explained the situation clearly and apologized sincerely."

"And what this young lady said is correct. Whether a person will apologize immediately after knowing they've made a mistake really has to do with their upbringing!"

"Secondly, let's talk about the issue of buying and renting. Miss Mu probably hasn't figured it out yet. No one will accuse you of renting or buying. The reason she's speaking without thinking is that she's irritated by your indifferent attitude."

After saying this, Yu Rubing looked at the owner of the evening dress, seeking her confirmation.

The owner of the evening gown nodded sincerely, indicating that this was what Yu Rubing meant.

Yu Rubing continued, "Finally, let me explain that we wear evening gowns out of respect for the occasion and the guests. This is a courtesy that is ingrained in us."

"If Miss Mu feels that this is unacceptable, you don't have to wear an evening gown. Even if you wear a white short-sleeved shirt and jeans, as long as you have an invitation to the banquet, I believe the guard will let you in!"

"Finally, we cannot accept the word 'shortsighted' that Miss Mu used. I, representing only my community, will return these four words to Miss Mu without any change."

After Yu Rubing finished speaking, Jiang Li's face was so ugly that it was unbearable to look at. He suppressed his anger and gritted his teeth and said, "Yu Rubing, don't exaggerate here. Xiaoyun didn't mean that at all!"

Jiang Li couldn't believe his eyes. When Yu Rubing was speaking just now, he had warned her several times with his eyes, telling her not to speak anymore because he was very angry.

Even at the end, there was a hint of pleading in Jiang Li's eyes.

In the past, Yu Rubing would have been as obedient as a cat, hiding in the crowd and not making a sound.

But today, Yu Rubing was like a different person. He ignored the signals from his eyes and acted as if he was air.

In addition to being annoyed, Jiang Li also felt a little confused.

Of course, Yu Rubing saw it all. Jiang Li was making crazy gestures towards her, but why should she care about his feelings?

That was the original owner's approach. Yu Rubing's approach was to confidently tell Jiang Li, "Does Miss Mu mean that? I understand, and so do everyone present."

"But you, Mr. Jiang!" Yu Rubing looked at Jiang Li with a hint of disdain in her eyes. "It was clearly your assistant who was wrong, yet you insisted on defending him. Your apology is insincere and comes off as bullying."

"I stood up and said a few fair words, but I'm being questioned by President Jiang like this?"

"Mr. Jiang, do you think that the Jiang family has become so dominant that they don't need to apologize to us?"

Yu Rubing's last sentence clearly intended to incite hatred.

After Mu Xiaoyun said that, if Jiang Li was rational enough, he would have immediately scolded Mu Xiaoyun to shut up.

In the business world, favors and courtesy are indispensable. Mu Xiaoyun's words were enough to make him disliked.

Now, Yu Rubing has stepped forward to stir up trouble and put Jiang Li in opposition to everyone. He absolutely cannot accept this.

The Jiang family's business has been going smoothly in recent years, and their status in City A has been significantly improved, but it has also attracted jealousy.

Jiang Li had heard such provocative words from others many times.

But he never expected it!

Will Yu Rubing say it one day?

Although she didn't like Yu Rubing, most of the time, she felt particularly uncomfortable with Yu Rubing's closeness.

But he had to admit that Yu Rubing always put herself in his shoes. In the past, when he was criticized, he was reluctant to speak out due to the relationship, and it was Yu Rubing who retorted on his behalf.

The aggressive Yu Rubing in front of him made him feel more unfamiliar than ever before.

Jiang Li was even more bewildered, but he knew in his heart that now was not the time to be confused. After he came to his senses, he said with his eyes wide open, "You are slandering me. I never meant that."

Seeing Jiang Li was so angry that he was about to jump up and down, Yu Rubing felt satisfied. It was like revenge for the glare Jiang Li gave her when they first entered the room.

Yu Rubing didn't argue with her, but she still refused to admit defeat and said, "Boss Jiang knows whether it's slander or not, so I won't say more."

"I didn't mean to target Mr. Jiang on purpose. I just wanted him to understand one thing: no matter who Mr. Jiang is, he should refrain from putting such ridiculous accusations on us in the future. We won't tolerate any injustice."

After Yu Rubing finished speaking, everyone present burst into applause. Her bestie even took the lead in cheering for her, shouting, "Bingbing is awesome! Bingbing loves you!"

The applause reached Yu Rubing's ears, and she felt that it was a good feeling to stand out.

But for the other two people, hearing the applause from the whole room was undoubtedly like being pierced by needles.

Mu Xiaoyun was the first one who couldn't bear it anymore. Her forced emotions suddenly collapsed, and she covered her eyes and fled out of the banquet hall in embarrassment.

Jiang Li was not much better off. He had always been in a glorious position and had never suffered such injustice. He felt bad enough in his heart, and now he had to go and take care of Mu Xiaoyun. His back looked as miserable as Mu Xiaoyun's.

After the banquet, Yu Rubing felt tired sitting in the car, but her mood was indeed much better.

In a blink of an eye, the driver drove the car to the door of the house.

The Yu family's villa is located in a prime location in City A, yet it is quiet amidst the hustle and bustle.

The community is very large, with houses sparsely spaced, and has large green spaces and lakes. The green plants in the garden are of various kinds, and the lake is home to a wide variety of fish.

As soon as Yu Rubing entered the house, she saw through the glass window that Yu's father and mother were sitting on the sofa, playing with something in their hands, with joy on their faces beyond words.

Yu Rubing has completely absorbed the original owner's memories. When she saw her parents' happy expressions, she couldn't help but smile bitterly inwardly.

She opened the door, put on her slippers, and ran to her parents in the living room, "Mom and Dad, I'm back!"

When Yu's mother saw her daughter coming back, she was not as tired as before and didn't even speak. She asked curiously, "Why do you look so energetic today?"

Of course I am in high spirits!

There is no need to follow Jiang Li around, serving him like a dog and being tired, and not being appreciated.

Yu Rubing simply said, "I'm in a good mood today!"

As he spoke, he changed into some comfortable clothes.

When they returned to the living room, Yu's mother also said with a smile: "Your father and I are in a good mood today!"

"Look at this!" Yu's mother said, holding up the gold-inlaid jade pendant in her hand. The admiration in her eyes was self-evident. "Jiang Li is such a thoughtful kid. I couldn't find anything I was satisfied with, but he found it. He has really good taste!"

After Yu's mother finished speaking, she looked at Yu Rubing again and said, "Bingbing, it must be because you mentioned it to Jiang Li that Jiang Li took it to heart, right?"

After Yu's mother finished speaking, she looked at Yu Rubing and winked in the direction of Yu's father.

Yu Rubing understood what her mother meant. She wanted the mother and daughter to cooperate in speaking well of Jiang Li in front of her father.

Yu's father was playing with an inkstone, observing the patterns on it intently with a magnifying glass.

"Not bad!" Father Yu said after a long while, "Among all the ancient inkstones in my collection, none can compare to this one."

Compared to Yu's mother's outspoken joy, Yu's father's satisfaction was more profound and reserved, and he even looked a little worried: "The things your mother and I are holding were delivered this morning. There was a note attached to the gift, and it said it was from Jiang Li."

Speaking of Jiang Li, Yu's father's eyes showed a hint of inquiry, and his tone became a little strange: "This kid, if you want to give a gift, why don't you deliver it yourself?"

Yu's father has always had some complaints about Jiang Li. His daughter is very fond of him, but Jiang Li is always lukewarm towards her.

Yu's father had many opportunities to meet Jiang Li, and he had once reminded him in words and deeds that although it was a good thing for a man to be career-oriented, he should also take care of the people around him.

After all, no old father wants to see his daughter suffer injustice.

After Yu's father said this, Jiang Li remained indifferent, which made Yu's father very angry. He wanted the original owner to break up with him immediately, but the original owner was too interested in Jiang Li, and Yu's father could not persuade his daughter.

Hearing the dissatisfaction in Yu's father's words, Yu Rubing thought, of course he won't come!

Jiang Li doesn't even bother to care about Ru Bing, so how could he bother to send gifts to her parents?

Yu's father's inkstone and Yu's mother's jewelry were all given by the original owner under the name of Jiang Li.

After all, the Yu family is not an ordinary family. Jiang Li hates the original owner to that extent. If Yu's father and mother knew the truth, how could they let their daughter go to him and throw herself at him?

In order to prevent his parents from being disgusted with Jiang Li and preventing him from getting close to Jiang Li, the original owner also wanted Yu's father to help Jiang Li with his business from time to time.

So she often lied in front of her parents, creating the impression that Jiang Li and she had a two-way relationship. Jiang Li was just too career-oriented and couldn't be too distracted emotionally, so sometimes he had to neglect the original owner.

The original owner put a lot of thought into covering up this lie.

When Yu's mother heard what Yu's father said, she knew her daughter couldn't stand hearing bad things about Jiang Li, so she quickly covered up for Jiang Li, saying, "Jiang Li is too busy. He probably wanted to come in person at first, but something got him delayed."

"Right Bingbing?"

After saying this, he did not forget to ask his daughter to cooperate with him.

Yu Rubing refused in her heart. Not to mention that the gift was not from Jiang Li at all, even if it was really from Jiang Li, she would have thrown it into the trash can before it was given to Yu's father and mother.

Who cares about his broken stuff!

But now, Yu Rubing can't tell the truth!

Over the years, the original owner told too many lies. Although Yu's father had some complaints about Jiang Li, Yu's father and mother still believed that Jiang Li had feelings for Yu Rubing, and that some of his actions were too inconsiderate.

Otherwise, Yu's father would not have taken the trouble to support Jiang Li in the business world over the years.

Thinking of this, Yu Rubing felt even more at a loss!

If she told the truth now, regardless of whether her parents would believe her or not, her credibility with them would definitely be greatly reduced.

If Yu's father knew that his daughter was so self-deprecating, it would definitely damage the relationship between father and daughter. Yu's mother doted on the original owner so much, who knows how sad she would be?

Not only the father and mother, but anyone who had any connection with the two families mistakenly believed that the original owner and Jiang Li were in a relationship.

As for Jiang Li, although he didn't have the original owner in his heart, he thought of the benefits brought by the original owner, so he pretended to be ignorant of the misunderstanding.

In the original plot, the male and female protagonists expressed their feelings for each other, and only after the male protagonist became more powerful did he distance himself from Yu Rubing.

At that time, the original owner found someone to rape the heroine but failed, and was defiled instead. The hero made his relationship with the heroine public and exposed the original owner's shameful behavior to the public.

The original owner was arrested and imprisoned, and soon committed suicide. The grief-stricken Yu's father avenged his daughter, but ended up being killed by Jiang Li.

Faced with the sudden pain of losing his daughter, Jiang Li did not care about the past support and friendship of Yu's father, and attacked his father without mercy.

Yu Rubing's principle in this life is not to interfere in the personal feelings of the male and female protagonists, but she must take back all the benefits given by the Yu family.
